You SAID your PC came preinstalled with Win8.1, and unlike Win7 PCs which have the product key encrypted into the SLC table in the BIOS, Win8x PCs have it embedded into the UEFI firmware.

 

So, if it did not really have Win8x on it originally, there would be no product key in the UEFI firmware.

 

Good Luck
